Tue 12 Jun 2018

In the immortal words of Björk, it's been oh so quiet in Nottingham this month with the launch of Psst., the latest in a long line of poetry events based in the city centre.

Art Review: The House of Fame at Nottingham Contemporary

Wed 06 Jun 2018

Linder Sterling is a fascinating character. In the mid-seventies, she edited herself down to one name, hung out with some of the biggest musicians of the decade and became one of the key artists in the British punk and post-punk movement, using her preferred technique of photomontage to create her politically charged artwork. The House of Fame has been convened by Linder and includes work of her own, work from those who have inspired her, and loans from Chatsworth House, where Linder resides as Artist in Residence.
